Chicken Alfredo Lasagna - creamy homemade Alfredo sauce layered chicken, spinach, and lots of gooey cheese. The perfect dish for company and family dinners.
Chicken Alfredo Lasagna
I really love Italian food in general, but there's just something about Alfredo dishes that really do me in. It's basically everything I love about food, all in one. Creamy, cheesy, buttery,.... Mmmm. So making a Chicken Alfredo Lasagna out of this magnificent concoction? Count me in!
Chicken Alfredo Lasagna has layers of rich, creamy Alfredo sauce, chopped chicken, spinach, and lots of gooey cheese, all in between your traditional lasagna noodles. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.
Chicken Alfredo Lasagna is a delicious idea for company, and is also perfect your family dinners. Cooked in a large 9"x 13" baking dish, you'll probably have enough for leftovers. (Maybe. I mean this stuff is really amazing. It's hard to stop eating it!)
Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Recipe
Ingredients
- 16 lasagna noodles cooked to package instructions
- 3 cups cooked chopped chicken
- 2 Roma tomatoes diced
- 4 cups freshly shredded mozzarella
For the Ricotta Filling
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 8 ounces chopped spinach
- 15 ounces ricotta
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
For the Alfredo Sauce
- 1 cup butter
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 4 cups heavy cream
- 4 cups freshly grated Parmesan
Instructions
For the Ricotta Filling
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil.
- When hot, add 1 tablespoon garlic and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
- Add spinach and cook until wilted. Set aside to cool.
- When spinach is cool enough to handle, drain out extra oil and moisture on a paper towel. Set aside
- In a large mixing bowl, add ricotta, eggs, lemon juice, and salt and whisk until blended.
- Fold in spinach. Set aside.
For the Alfredo Sauce
- In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat.
- Add garlic and cook until fragrant.
- Stir in cream, and continue cooking, stirring often, until hot and steaming (but not yet boiling).
- When cream is hot, stir in parmesan until melted. Set sauce aside.
To Assemble
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In the bottom of a 9"x13" baking dish, scoop about ½ cup sauce and spread evenly.
- Next add 4 lasagna noodles.
- On top of the noodles, layer a third of the ricotta mixture, a third of the chicken, a third of the tomatoes, a quarter of the mozzarella, and a quarter of the Alfredo sauce. Repeat the layers twice more.
- For the final layers, repeat the noodles with the remaining 4, then top with remaining Alfredo and mozzarella. Top with parsley.
- Bake in a 350°F oven for about 45 minutes until heated through and cheese on top is lightly browned, melted, and bubbly.
- Let set for 20-30 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Don't let cream boil. It will make it curdle and separate for a not-very-creamy sauce.

This looks so good! I have been trying to find a recipe like this for a long time. My sister made something similar about 8 years ago. lol Thanks!

I love this dish and would eat it with abandon! It has all of my favorite things ini one great dish!
The Farmer's Wife says
Wow. I would never have thought to make this, but you have definitely inspired me. Going to see if I can fit this into next month's menu. Thank you so much!
Ashley says
This was so good instead I used a different alfredo sauce which I googled
lisa says
wondering if i can make this and freeze it.
Michelle says
I don't like to freeze cream/milk because it separates, so I've never frozen it. I did have someone tell me once that if you mix cream cheese into the alfredo, it won't separate and you can freeze and store, so you could try that! Let me know how it goes if you try it!
Joni says
Absolutely delicious! I have served to guests many times and everyone loves it. I usually double the total ingredients in order to have ample layers in a larger dish. I do add the fresh garlic and adding fresh chopped parsley to the top adds just enough color. I also cover for the first 40 minutes of baking time and then uncover to allow to lightly brown. Magnificent!
Jacqueline says
Can i use oven ready lasagna noodles? Or need to be boiled first?
Michelle says
I've not tried it. Are they already soft? I would be worried that they'd absorb the sauce and then the dish would be dry.
Nicole Messina says
Will it still come out ok if I were to prepare it the night before I cook it in oven?
Michelle says
I haven't tried it, but I think it probably would. I would probably add a little extra sauce in case some gets absorbed by the noodles!
